JIMBOB Posted September 7, 2004 Report Posted September 7, 2004 Hi all As my mid channel trip with bayzand on sundace was canceld today, I decided to cheer my self up buy takeing tara out, Even in a F6!!! I didnt have much choice with the weather so I planned to hide under the cliffs at st albans. It wasn't a great start with not a touch for most of the day, But I was trying hard for the triggers and after a few missed bites I got one on...Not as big as the fish aluns been hauling on the ledge but a fair size at 2lb 8oz mark also managed 1 just over 2lb. Then I decided for some reason to lob out a free lined mackrel on my carp rod. after letting it waft about for a while on reeling it in it was almost wrenched out my hands! and I was hanging on to a stunning bass after several laps of the boat and a few hart stopping moments. she was in the net she pulled the scales round to 10lb 12oz My biggest bass by actually targeting them With light gear (my last lump bass was on conger gear) Im back out for anouther one tomorrow James Quote
